Judge’s Initials: Afi— Affiant’s Initials: ASA’s Initials:

 On Monday, May 08, 2023, Your Affiant was assigned this case under Hialeah Police case
2023-013064 after the victim disclosed to Miami Gardens Police and Fort Lauderdale officers that
she had been involved in a consensual sexual relationship with a 28-year-old male called “Yey or
Jay Hernandez” later identified as the subject, Mr. Jose Robell Hernandez, a Miramar Police
Officer.
The incident came to light on April 13, 2023, while the victim was walking a dog in Miami
Gardens. The victim came across a garbage bag which she suspected contained a dead body. The
victim called 911 and Miami Gardens Police responded in emergency mode to her location. When
officers arrived, they saw the victim screaming erratically and pointing at a garbage bag.
Officers inspected the garbage bag and determined there was no deceased body and that
the victim appeared to be suffering a mental health crisis. The victim appeared dirty, frantic, and
unkempt. The victim said she was not taking her medication. The victim stated, “I’m so confused.
I’m so nervous.” Prior to transporting the victim to a facility for services, Officers asked the victim
for her parent’s information. The victim handed her phone to Officer Prudent #449 and provided
consent to use her phone. Officer Prudent viewed her text messages to see if the last person she
spoke to would answer the phone.
Officer Prudent noticed the victim had been communicating with a uniform officer she
referred to as “Yey” or “Jay” In English. Officer Prudent read several text messages between them
which suggested they had a sexual relationship. In the text messages, the victim was accusing the
subject of getting her pregnant. The subject’s reply stated the victim had her period two days after
they had sexual intercourse. The subject also stated he never ejaculated inside of her. Officer
Prudent noticed the subject was an adult male and had suspicions the victim was a juvenile. Officer
Prudent asked the victim for her age and she said she was seventeen years old. Officer Prudent
continued scrolling through the victim’s text messages and saw a photo of the subject, “J.
Hernandez” in his Miramar Police uniform (Miami Gardens Police 2023-006158).
Miami Gardens Special Victims Detectives interviewed the victim who disclosed she had
a sexual relationship with the officer. The victim said the sexual encounter occurred in “Hialeah”
and/or “Ft. Lauderdale” Miami Gardens Police contacted Ft. Lauderdale Police and Sergeant
Hector Martinez assumed the investigation. On April 26, 2023, Sergeant Hector Martinez
interviewed the victim. The victim cooperated and provided a sworn recorded statement. The
victim said she met the subject on Tinder, which is a dating website. The victim said when she

Judge’s Initials: Affiant’s Initials: ASA’s Initials:

created her Tinder account she used her real name, and her real birthday save for the year, which
she changed to make herself appear to be twenty-three (23) years old.
Sergeant Hector Martinez showed the victim a photograph of the subject obtained from her
cell phone and she positively identified the subject. The victim said she met the subject online on
or about March of 2023 on Tinder when they “matched” They communicated on Tinder for about
two weeks, the subject gave her his phone number, and suggested they talk via text
messages. The victim and subject began texting and talking. The victim recalled talking about her
former high school but not her age. On March 14, 2023, the victim sent the subject a voice note
stating, “I lied about my age on the page, I’m about to be 19 ... ” suggesting she was 18 years old.
The victim said they began texting daily and she believed she was in a ‘relationship’ with
the subject. The victim said she would “do things for him” explaining that she removed some of
her friends and “guys” from her phone to gain his trust so they wouldn’t have jealousy issues. The
victim said she did this on her own. The victim knew the subject was a police officer because his
Tinder profile had a photograph of him in his police uniform. The victim said she knew he was 28
years old because he told her so. The victim explained “Yey” or “Jay” would often FaceTime her
and she could see his uniform, his computer, and his coworkers. The victim said she copied the
photograph from his Tinder profile to setup his contact profile on her phone, and this was the
photograph Miami Gardens Officers stumbled upon while trying to locate a next of kin.
The victim said she met the subject in person a total of 3 times. The first time was at a
Starbucks (on Sheridan Street by a Publix), the second time was at the same Starbucks, and the
third time was at the same Starbucks, but they also went to West Lake Park, and then a hotel in
Hialeah where they engaged in sexual activity. The victim said the name of the hotel was
“Fantasy.” She conducted a Google search and identified “Executive Palace Hotel” located at 2125
W. Okeechobee Road, Hialeah, FL 33010. However, Your Affiant determined the correct hotel
was “El Paraiso” located at 1615 W. Okeechobee Road, Hialeah, FL 33010. Both hotels belong to
the Executive “Fantasy” Hotel chain.
The victim provided law enforcement with consent for her phone, a digital forensic
examination was conducted of her device, and digital evidence was retrieved which assisted Your
Affiant in obtaining an investigative timeline which corroborated the victim’s statement:
On March 16, 2023, the subject and victim met for the first time. The subject drove to the
victim’s home and picked her up in a white Scion TC. The subject confirmed his arrival, at 11:34

to a Starbucks on Sheridan (near a Publix). Asked her to stay in the car, took their order and came
back to the car. The victim said they talked in the car for one or two hours. She said there was no
kissing or touching “because it was the first date.” After that date, they continued talking, most of
their communication was via text, but they also called each other.
On March 29, 2023, the subject and victim met for the second time. The subject confirmed
his arrival, at 11:30 a.m. “I’m here.” The subject drove to the victim’s home and picked her up in

Hollywood. At the park, the subject showed the victim pictures of a hotel, suggesting they should
go, and the victim agreed to go. The victim explained that she knew something else was going to
happen suggesting she knew they would engage in sexual activity.
Your Affiant conducted investigative research on the subject and his associates and
determined the subject’s fiance’s sister had a registered white 2007 Toyota scion TC bearing FL
tagKNRZ63.
Your Affiant conducted investigative research on License Plate Readers and determined

2023, at 12:03 p.m., the subject exits the vehicle, a white 2007 Toyota scion with dark tinted

of the room was corroborated.

both got naked and “talked for a while” and “kissed.” The victim said they never discussed her age
while they were at the hotel.
The victim said once they exited the jacuzzi, “it happened” explaining they engaged in
sexual activity, penile/vaginal sex where the subject penetrated her vagina with his penis. The
victim also said they performed oral sex on each other. The victim said the subject wore a condom
and ejaculated outside the condom which he later discarded in the trash. The victim estimated they
